🎙️ Episode Title: The One Call I Didn’t Want to Hear

🩺 Summary:
Tones dropped for a possible overdose — and the address was my dad’s. From CPR on my own father to watching my partner take over the scene, this was the call I never wanted… and the one that showed me what real support looks like.

📌 Why It Matters:
Sometimes the job gets personal. This one reminds us that even when it’s your own family on the line, your crew can be your anchor — and your reason to keep going.
